Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT When and how do international standards influence domestic policies? The literature identifies a range of ways international standards may relate to domestic regulations—including by exporting, substituting, supplanting, or bolstering national rules—creating theoretical ambiguity.

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 2, December 2026.This study reviews the first eight NDC3 submissions (Zambia, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Japan, New Zealand, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland), comparing reference points, timeframes, scope, methodologies, ambition, and adaptation indicators. Results show strong mitigation ambition in developed countries but persistent adaptation and implementation ...

Spatial adequacy of afforestation in Poland: do afforestation needs and environmental preferences matter? [PDF]
The article concerns the afforestation of agricultural land, especially soils of low quality classes with little suitability for agriculture. The assumption was made that in order to effectively implement afforestation and optimize spatial structures ...

Why Some Critical Junctures Lead Nowhere: Exploring Dynamic and Static Policy Paths
Governance, Volume 39, Issue 4, December 2026.ABSTRACT Some critical junctures fail to cause significant change in practice. Inspired by historical institutionalism, this article develops the concept of dynamic and static policy paths to explain why some critical junctures do not lead to change, while others do.

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 108, Issue 5, Page 1402-1436, October 2026.Abstract Agricultural subsidies can be an effective policy tool to enhance soil organic carbon sequestration. This paper assesses the effectiveness of a second‐best hypothetical policy which subsidizes additional canola hectares optimally for each soil zone in Saskatchewan in an effort to increase soil organic carbon.

Ecology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 35, Issue 4, October 2026.ABSTRACT Individual growth rates of fish are influenced by gradually changing environmental conditions and rapid‐onset events. However, there is a paucity of information on drivers of spatiotemporal variability in growth rates of fishes across large spatial extents.

Land Radiative Management Increases Heat Stress in Some Humid Regions
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.Abstract Heat stress may exceed human physiological limits this century in hot and humid regions. Land radiative management (LRM), a geoengineering strategy that increases surface albedo, aims to reduce heat stress. However, previous work has shown that LRM suppresses rainfall in surrounding regions, drying soils and increasing temperatures.

Dust Pollution Mitigation by Solar Farm Deployment in Northern China
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.Abstract Dust storms pose a growing threat to air quality and public health across northern China. As part of the carbon‐neutrality and clean‐air strategy, China is rapidly expanding solar farms, particularly in desert regions, yet their potential to mitigate dust pollution and improve downwind air quality remains poorly understood. Here, we develop an

Differential Elevational Diversity Between Overstory and Understory in Tropical Forests
Biological Diversity, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 169-179, September 2026.Tropical forest overstory and understory exhibit contrasting elevational α‐diversity patterns (unimodal vs. bimodal). Community differentiation is driven by species turnover of dominant rather than rare species, highlighting the need for vertically stratified conservation across the full elevational gradient.
